the head gasket was called from England by Karan who owns K S MOTORSPORTS and is made by copper to reduce heat and the compression ratio is down by 9:1
The boost is increased to 8-9 psi now.

You can see the site www.defi-shop.com and check the bf2 gauges they are the worlds best and cost 95000 for a set of 6 gauges and a controller

i hope they worked out a good launch/traction control system on that beast ...
..torque steer on a sprayed mondeo will be quite a handful !!

Any positive boost would effectively improve performance of any vehicle... @ 3-4 you would be running the stock fuel curves as it is hardly any boost at all.

Yes it was.Though not anymore.Its running on 9-10psi after the head gasket job now.

However one thing I couldnt understand is what has the head gasket got to do with the boost upgrade to 8-9 PSI. If you are planning to get in a steel head gasket a forewarning DON'T a stock head gasket is the best as in case of any failure the head gasket will go and not the internal's.

what are the current 1/4 mile times on the car?

Not yet tested.

Rtech: that was a good point on the bottle angles... wish no one is behind the car if anything happens... also do the bottles have a overflow line to the bottom of the car?

Those are huge Red Bull cans with NOS decals.Additional energy to the driver as well as the car.

They're positioned the right way.Just a little tilted towards the front.It looks straight in the pic.

hey guys,
defi is the most overrated gauges and 95k is way toooo much the set is 65k.
mondeo comes with a STEEL gasket which is better than COPPER and can handle 12psi as it is

guys, this mayb out of topic, but can u get a traction control sys done on the car?? or can u modify the present one u have. And the mondeo must be havin TCS too, but it would require mods rite??

turbo_lover · 21st July 2005, 23:23

the TCS can be modified by Upgrading the ECU ..Motec is one brand which has built in traction and launch capability ..

Insane Devil · 22nd July 2005, 13:33

as talking abt the TCS, i have TCS on my Tucson, i wud like to know, when exactly is it advised to use it, and do we need it in normal day to day, city driving?coz i heard, it does take up the mileage down by around 1.5kmpl...?

turbo_lover · 22nd July 2005, 13:44

..use it in slippery conditions, rain /snow/gravel ...
if your going off road or driving under poor road conditions along with your AWD ..it is not required for daily running ...

Hi why you guys don’t like the spoiler???Have any one seen in person??? Believe me its 100% carbon Fiber and very light compared to aluminum...

Does the spoiler really provide more grip and stability on these cars. Well in F1 cars and touring cars, or supercars they do but on indian ones???

at speeds in the excess of 180k am sure it'll contribute to the aerodynamic downforce of the car ...below such speeds its just an expensive ornament ...

carbon fibre body parts are very costly and no dbout the spoiler compliments the mondeo ..i have seen a similar Spoiler (Jackson Racing) on a Modded RSX ...

karthik247 · 4th August 2005, 21:27

so they're more show than purpose. So it wouldn't matter even if u have a CF part or not. I'm not saying its useless, but talking abt efficiency.
